About

My name is Lei Chen, aged 40, a native Chinese living and working in China. I have been working as a full-time freelance English to Chinese translator, editor, and proofreader for more than 10 years, and I mainly work in marketing, mechanic, general business, website localization and transcreation, education, E-learning, Chinese medicine and healthcare fields. My experience as a translator began in 2003 when I worked for two years as a QA proofreader at Beijing T-bond Translation service. Therein, I was exposed to a vast variety of texts: legal, marketing, mechanic, etc. using the languages of English and Chinese. I then started working as a freelance translator in 2014 with local private clients and some translation companies, and since 2019, I have begun to work for translation companies in Hong Kong, the United Kingdom, and several international private clients. For the past ten years, I have been working in these fields on a daily basis. My clients, acknowledged the high quality of my work, entrusting me with editing/review and Quality Assurance Check of their translator’s work. If you are interested in my services, let me know what I need to do to become part of your team of translators.
